GILROY, CA – Amid a sea of bright blue that is the San Francisco Bay Area, Gilroy stands out as a red dot. At least from a fundraising standpoint. Residents of the world's garlic capital poured $57,991.48 into President Trump's campaign war chest over a 17-month period that concluded Aug. 1, according to data from the Federal Election Commission. Former Vice President Joe Biden received $44,286.90 in donations from Gilroy residents over the same period. Trump's leading individual contributor was retiree Ramona Anninger, who donated $2,800 to the president's reelection fund. Gilroy City Councilmember Dion Bracco gave $2,412.50 to Trump. Kanyezi Africa Safari CEO Christopher Cote topped the list of individual contributors to Biden, donating $10,000. The Gilroy Dispatch first reported Trump's fundraising advantage in the South Bay city Saturday.
